Definitions
- the present invention relates to an inspection chamber buried, such as manhole, manhole or similar, especially for monitoring and maintenance of underground networks.
- It relates more particularly to a bedroom type inspection of at least one body buried tubular interposed in a distribution circuit or evacuation of fluids by gravity flow, this body, closed at its bottom by a bottom element profile or cunette, presenting at its upper part a access port through which it is possible to inspect said circuit.
- Buried inspection chambers also called manholes manhole, manhole, manhole or similar, are intended to allow the introduction of apparatus or people in a buried network location in sight to monitor and maintain the network while ensuring the hydraulic continuity of the effluents.
- Inspection chambers have long been made exclusively of concrete. However, the use concrete has shown its limits, especially in terms of Environmental Protection. Inspection chambers in plastic material appeared on the market because of two major advantages, namely their low weight and their tightness.
- Inspection chambers currently on the market are of the so-called monobloc type insofar as the bottom of the chamber equipped with a hydraulic drain and part of the side walls of the chamber are made in one piece, the rest of the body being obtained by assembly elements such as an extension and a head element or reducer which delimit the access opening in the chamber. These body elements are tightly assembled by welding or by means of joints.
- inspection chambers Another problem with these inspection chambers is their adaptation to any length depending on the site to equip. Indeed, in this case, the part of the bottom of the body has walls of defined heights. The result the obligation to use other elements, such as extensions, to obtain the desired body height. Of this fact, such inspection chambers require the storage of a large number of parts. In addition, each part must be joined to another by a joint. In Consequently, the assembly and installation time of a such room is important. In addition, holding in the the sealing time of these different bonds remains random.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the disadvantages mentioned above by offering a room buried inspection type including body and independently produced bottom element, body and bottom element being assembled in such a way that they guarantee watertightness and mechanical strength of the set identical to a set made in one piece.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a buried inspection chamber with assembly time reduced and the possibility of adaptation to a height of any site are important without requiring as much the storage of various parts.
- the invention relates to a room buried inspection, such as manhole, hole of man or the like, of the type consisting of at least one body buried tubular interposed in a distribution circuit or evacuation of fluids, this body, closed in its part lower by a profiled bottom element or cunette, having at its upper part an orifice for access to through which it is possible to inspect said circuit, characterized in that the tubular body and the element of profiled bottom or cunette each have a groove peripheral provided respectively, on the internal face of the body and on the external face of the bottom element, these throats coming opposite during an introduction usually by dint of the cunette in the body, the throat internal peripheral of the body comprising at least one orifice communicating with the outside of the tubular body to allow the injection of a filling material said grooves, this material ensuring both the tightness and mechanical strength of the connection by axial immobilization between tubular body and element profiled bottom.
- the chamber cunnette consists of a base in the thickness of which is provided peripherally the external groove for receiving the filling material, this base being provided on one of its faces with a peripheral toothing in the form of a crenellated annular crown, each niche constituting a departure pending for the possible connection of a fluid inlet or outlet pipe introduced to the interior of said chamber through an opening of the body wall arranged in correspondence with the so that the fluid inlet or outlet lines are organized in radiant arrangement around said bedroom.
- the buried inspection chamber, object of the invention is constituted in a known manner of a tubular body 1 arranged vertically inside excavations carried out in the ground on the path of a distribution network or evacuation of fluids.
- such a room inspection performs two main functions.
- Her first function is to allow monitoring of the network by means of materials or people introduced to the interior of the chamber for maintenance, network maintenance and / or renovation.
- a second function of this room is to provide continuity hydraulic flow through the effluents.
- These effluents can be of various origins: rain, urban, industrial ... Obviously, other fluids can be brought through such a room.
- Networks incorporating such inspection chambers are designed to have to resist at least ten years. They therefore require a permanent inspection and control.
- the body 1 is buried vertically and closed at its part lower by a profiled bottom element or cunette 2.
- this body 1 is generally made up of several elements.
- this body 1 has at its upper part an access port through which it is possible to inspect said circuit.
- This body access port is delimited by means of a head element 6 or reducer assembled to the rest of the body, usually by means of a attached.
- This head element 6 is equipped with a cover 16 or closing pad placed at ground level. This cover or closing pad is generally made of cast iron.
- a lost annular formwork 7 is threaded onto the head element 6 of the body 1 and supports the closing element 16 of the head element 6.
- This load balancer therefore plays the role of floating slab. It is essential that it be detached from the head element 6 of the bedroom.
- This load-sharing element 7 will therefore rest on compacted soil.
- This annular formwork 7 is therefore, after the installation of the chamber body in a site previously cleared, filled with concrete ensuring rigidity of the whole.
- the body 1 of the chamber is closed at its lower part by a profiled bottom element 2 or wedge.
- Body 1 and bottom element 2 are made of synthetic material for the reasons explained above, namely lightness and insensitivity to aggressive effluents in particular H 2 S.
- the bottom element 2 is in particular made of polyurethane. This bottom element 2 is molded by low pressure injection of said polyurethane.
- the bottom element 2 is completely independent, at the time of its manufacture, of the body of the room it is possible to get a background element which the structure has an increasing density gradient of the central part towards the external faces of said element thus giving it a mechanical structure equivalent to an H beam, in which each face of the bottom element corresponds to a branch of H.
- the polyurethane material is injected so that this material will be much more compact in the outer part of the room while it it will be much less in the central part of the room.
- an H-structure of said part 2 itself giving good mechanical strength greater than identical compact structure, especially when the inspection chamber is subjected to the action of a sheet phreatic.
- the tubular body 1 and the profiled bottom element or cunette 2 must be assembled in such a way that perfect sealing and mechanical strength are obtained at the connection between tubular body 1 and element profiled bottom 2.
- the tubular body 1 and the bottom element 2 respectively have one a internal peripheral groove 3, the other a throat external device 4, said grooves 3,4 being arranged to come next when introducing the cunette 2 in the body 1.
- This introduction of the cunette 2 in the body 1 is usually done by force.
- the cunette 2 is dimensioned so that that it fits perfectly in the body 1 of the room inspection. Because of this perfect adaptation of the Cunette 2 in the body 1 of the chamber, we solve also the problem of the initial ovalization of the bodies of room.
- the internal peripheral groove 3 of the body 1 formed on the internal face of said body comprises at least one orifice 14 communicating with the outside of the tubular body 1 for allow the injection of a filling material 5 into grooves 3 and 4.
- This material 5 provides both tightness and mechanical strength of the connection like this has been clarified above.
- This material 5 is generally polyurethane.
- two orifices 14 and 15 communicating with the exterior of the body 1.
- one of the orifices 14 is used for the injection of this material, the other orifice 15 at degassing of the spaces to be filled during injection of the material 5.
- a template housed inside the chamber resting on the bottom element 2. This template allows to limit the creep of the filling material 5, this creep being shown in Figure 2.
- the external groove 4 for receiving the filling material 5 of the cunette 2 is formed in the thickness of a base of the cunette on the periphery of the latter.
- This the base of the cunette is also provided, on one of its sides, of peripheral teeth 10 under the form of a crenellated annular crown. This crown is intended to come to be applied more or less closely against the internal walls of the body 1 of the chamber inspection once the bottom element 2 is positioned at inside the body 1.
- Each slot 11 of this crown is arranged to come opposite an orifice 9 capable of being formed in the wall of the chamber body for connection of a line 8 for inlet or outlet of fluid to said bedroom.
- the body 1 is originally presented in the form of a simple tube comprising a peripheral groove 3 formed on its inner wall.
- This tubular body has on its outer wall marking marks of holes 9 to be drilled for connecting pipes 8 to said body. So, it is the user who decides on site the number of orifices 9 to be practiced in said body in depending on the connections to be made. This results in a great versatility of the inspection chamber suitable for adapt to multiple network configurations.
- the tubular body already has a hole made in the factory for the connection of a fluid outlet pipe 8, the other orifices being made on site. In that case, the hole is closed by means of a removable mounted plug on said body 1.
- a pipe 8 which is generally a pipe fluid inlet when the embodiment of the body 1 is of the type described above.
- each slot 11 of the cunette 2 presents on its around a shoulder 13 forming a stop during the axial introduction of an inlet pipe 8 or fluid outlet through an orifice 9 formed in correspondence of the niche 11 in the wall of the body 1 of room, the user is effortlessly assured of correct positioning of the pipe 8 inside said room.
- the profiled element 2 has at least one slot 11 corresponding to a fluid inlet and at least one slot 11A corresponding to an output of fluid of said chamber, each slot 11 of inlet of fluid being connected to at least one outlet slot of fluid 11A by a hydraulic profile 12 formed on the surface from the base of the cunette this profile ensuring a flow directional of the fluid inside the cunette.
- the bottom element profile 2 has at most five fluid inlets and one common fluid outlet, each hydraulic profile 12 being directed from a fluid inlet towards the common exit.
- hydraulic profile is meant a shape curved, similar to a gutter profile, arranged at the surface of the base of the profiled bottom element 2, this shape being profiled to ensure flow direction of the flow of fluid entering said chamber.

Description
La présente invention concerne une chambre d'inspection enterrée, tel que regard de visite, trou d'homme ou similaire, en particulier pour la surveillance et la maintenance de réseaux souterrains.The present invention relates to an inspection chamber buried, such as manhole, manhole or similar, especially for monitoring and maintenance of underground networks.
Elle concerne plus particulièrement une chambre d'inspection du type constitué d'au moins un corps tubulaire enterré intercalé dans un circuit de distribution ou d'évacuation de fluides par écoulement gravitaire, ce corps, fermé à sa partie inférieure par un élément de fond profilé ou cunette, présentant à sa partie supérieure un orifice d'accès à travers lequel il est possible d'inspecter ledit circuit.It relates more particularly to a bedroom type inspection of at least one body buried tubular interposed in a distribution circuit or evacuation of fluids by gravity flow, this body, closed at its bottom by a bottom element profile or cunette, presenting at its upper part a access port through which it is possible to inspect said circuit.
Les chambres d'inspection enterrées, encore appelées regard de visite, trou d'homme, puits de visite ou similaire, sont destinées à permettre l'introduction d'appareils ou de personnes en un emplacement d'un réseau enterré en vue d'assurer la surveillance et la maintenance du réseau tout en assurant la continuité hydraulique des effluents. Buried inspection chambers, also called manholes manhole, manhole, manhole or similar, are intended to allow the introduction of apparatus or people in a buried network location in sight to monitor and maintain the network while ensuring the hydraulic continuity of the effluents.
Les chambres d'inspection ont pendant longtemps été fabriquées exclusivement en béton. Toutefois, l'utilisation du béton a montré ses limites, notamment en terme de protection de l'environnement. Des chambres d'inspection en matière plastique sont donc apparues sur le marché du fait de deux avantages majeurs, à savoir leur faible poids et leur étanchéité.Inspection chambers have long been made exclusively of concrete. However, the use concrete has shown its limits, especially in terms of Environmental Protection. Inspection chambers in plastic material appeared on the market because of two major advantages, namely their low weight and their tightness.
Les chambres d'inspection actuellement dans le commerce sont de type dit monobloc dans la mesure où le fond de la chambre équipé d'une cunette hydraulique et une partie des parois latérales de la chambre sont réalisées d'une seule pièce, le reste du corps étant obtenu par assemblage d'éléments tels qu'une rehausse et un élément de tête ou réducteur qui délimitent l'orifice d'accès dans la chambre. Ces éléments du corps sont assemblés de manière étanche par soudure ou au moyen de joints.Inspection chambers currently on the market are of the so-called monobloc type insofar as the bottom of the chamber equipped with a hydraulic drain and part of the side walls of the chamber are made in one piece, the rest of the body being obtained by assembly elements such as an extension and a head element or reducer which delimit the access opening in the chamber. These body elements are tightly assembled by welding or by means of joints.
L'inconvénient principal d'une telle chambre résulte de la conception monobloc du fond de la chambre et d'une partie des parois latérales de cette chambre obligeant à la réalisation d'une pièce de grande dimension. Or, du fait des dimensions de la pièce à fabriquer, les techniques de fabrication sont limitées. Généralement, cette pièce est réalisée en polyéthylène rotomoulé ou extrudé moulé. Il en résulte des variations de dimension importantes d'une pièce à une autre. Cette imprécision dimensionnelle peut avoir de graves conséquences, en particulier au niveau des profils de la face formant fond de la pièce. Ceci peut amener à des perturbations du circuit hydraulique. Il en résulte également des déformations de la pièce, liées à l'absence de résistance de cette dernière. Or, la réglementation relative aux chambres d'inspection impose, dans des conditions de pression et de dépression données de la chambre, une déformation de la face formant fond de la chambre inférieure à une valeur prédéterminée. En conséquence, la conception monobloc de la chambre empêche le respect des normes imposées. The main disadvantage of such a room results from the monobloc design of the chamber bottom and part side walls of this chamber forcing the production of a large room. Now, because dimensions of the part to be manufactured, the techniques of manufacturing are limited. Generally, this piece is made of rotational molded or extruded molded polyethylene. It results from large variations in the size of a part to another. This dimensional imprecision can have serious consequences, particularly in terms of profiles of the bottom side of the part. This can lead to hydraulic circuit disturbances. The result also deformations of the part, linked to the absence resistance of the latter. The regulations relating to the inspection chambers requires, in given pressure and vacuum conditions of the chamber, a deformation of the bottom side of the room lower than a predetermined value. In as a result, the one-piece design of the chamber prevents compliance with the standards imposed.
Un autre problème de ces chambres d'inspection est leur adaptation à une longueur quelconque fonction du site à équiper. En effet, dans ce cas, la partie du fond du corps présente des parois de hauteurs définies. Il en résulte l'obligation d'utiliser d'autres éléments, tels que des rehausses, pour obtenir la hauteur de corps souhaitée. De ce fait, de telles chambres d'inspection nécessitent le stockage d'un nombre important de pièces. En outre, chaque pièce doit être assemblée à une autre par un joint. En conséquence, le temps de montage et d'installation d'une telle chambre est important. En outre, la tenue dans le temps à l'étanchéité de ces différentes liaisons demeure aléatoire.Another problem with these inspection chambers is their adaptation to any length depending on the site to equip. Indeed, in this case, the part of the bottom of the body has walls of defined heights. The result the obligation to use other elements, such as extensions, to obtain the desired body height. Of this fact, such inspection chambers require the storage of a large number of parts. In addition, each part must be joined to another by a joint. In Consequently, the assembly and installation time of a such room is important. In addition, holding in the the sealing time of these different bonds remains random.
Pour toutes les raisons mentionnées ci-dessus, il apparaÃt préférable de concevoir une chambre dont le fond est fabriqué de manière indépendante du corps servant à la délimitation des parois latérales de la chambre.For all the reasons mentioned above, it appears better to design a room whose bottom is manufactured independently of the body used for delimitation of the side walls of the chamber.
Toutefois, les installation fabriquées à ce jour sur ce principe n'ont pas connu le succès commercial escompté car elles ne donnaient pas satisfaction en matière d'étanchéité et de tenue mécanique de la liaison entre corps de chambre et fond de chambre.However, the installations manufactured to date on this have not had the expected commercial success because they were not satisfactory in terms of sealing and mechanical strength of the connection between the chamber body and back of the room.
Le but de la présente invention est donc de palier les inconvénients précités en proposant une chambre d'inspection enterrée du type comprenant un corps et un élément formant fond fabriqués de manière indépendante, corps et élément de fond étant assemblés de manière telle qu'ils garantissent une étanchéité et une tenue mécanique de l'ensemble identiques à un ensemble réalisé monobloc.The object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the disadvantages mentioned above by offering a room buried inspection type including body and independently produced bottom element, body and bottom element being assembled in such a way that they guarantee watertightness and mechanical strength of the set identical to a set made in one piece.
Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer une chambre d'inspection enterrée dont le temps de montage est réduit et dont les possibilité d'adaptation à une hauteur de site quelconque sont importantes sans nécessiter pour autant le stockage de pièces diverses.Another object of the present invention is to provide a buried inspection chamber with assembly time reduced and the possibility of adaptation to a height of any site are important without requiring as much the storage of various parts.
A cet effet l'invention a pour objet une chambre d'inspection enterrée, tel que regard de visite, trou d'homme ou similaire, du type constitué d'au moins un corps tubulaire enterré intercalé dans un circuit de distribution ou d'évacuation de fluides, ce corps, fermé à sa partie inférieure par un élément de fond profilé ou cunette, présentant à sa partie supérieure un orifice d'accès à travers lequel il est possible d'inspecter ledit circuit, caractérisée en ce que le corps tubulaire et l'élément de fond profilé ou cunette comportent chacun une gorge périphérique ménagée respectivement, sur la face interne du corps et sur la face externe de l'élément de fond, ces gorges venant en regard lors d'une introduction généralement à force de la cunette dans le corps , la gorge périphérique interne du corps comprenant au moins un orifice communiquant avec l'extérieur du corps tubulaire pour permettre l'injection d'une matière de remplissage desdites gorges, cette matière assurant à la fois l'étanchéité et la tenue mécanique de la liaison par immobilisation axiale entre corps tubulaire et élément de fond profilé.To this end the invention relates to a room buried inspection, such as manhole, hole of man or the like, of the type consisting of at least one body buried tubular interposed in a distribution circuit or evacuation of fluids, this body, closed in its part lower by a profiled bottom element or cunette, having at its upper part an orifice for access to through which it is possible to inspect said circuit, characterized in that the tubular body and the element of profiled bottom or cunette each have a groove peripheral provided respectively, on the internal face of the body and on the external face of the bottom element, these throats coming opposite during an introduction usually by dint of the cunette in the body, the throat internal peripheral of the body comprising at least one orifice communicating with the outside of the tubular body to allow the injection of a filling material said grooves, this material ensuring both the tightness and mechanical strength of the connection by axial immobilization between tubular body and element profiled bottom.
Grâce à cette conception de la liaison entre corps et élément de fond, on obtient une chambre d'inspection répondant à la réglementation d'une part en matière d'étanchéité, d'autre part en matière de tenue à une pression ou à une dépression données puisqu'il n'est constaté aucune déformation de l'élément de fond de la chambre.Thanks to this conception of the connection between body and bottom element, we get an inspection chamber meeting the regulations on the one hand in matters on the other hand in terms of resistance to given pressure or depression since there is no found no deformation of the bottom element of the bedroom.
Selon une forme de réalisation préférée de l'invention, la cunette de la chambre est constituée d'une embase dans l'épaisseur de laquelle est ménagée périphériquement la gorge externe de réception du matériau de remplissage, cette embase étant munie sur l'une de ses faces d'une denture périphérique se présentant sous la forme d'une couronne annulaire crénelée, chaque créneau constituant un départ en attente pour le raccordement éventuel d'une conduite d'entrée ou de sortie de fluide introduite à l'intérieur de ladite chambre à travers une ouverture de la paroi du corps ménagée en correspondance du créneau de sorte que les conduites d'entrée ou de sortie de fluide sont organisées à disposition rayonnante autour de ladite chambre.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the chamber cunnette consists of a base in the thickness of which is provided peripherally the external groove for receiving the filling material, this base being provided on one of its faces with a peripheral toothing in the form of a crenellated annular crown, each niche constituting a departure pending for the possible connection of a fluid inlet or outlet pipe introduced to the interior of said chamber through an opening of the body wall arranged in correspondence with the so that the fluid inlet or outlet lines are organized in radiant arrangement around said bedroom.
L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la
description suivante d'un exemple de réalisation, en
référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :
La chambre d'inspection enterrée, objet de l'invention, est
constituée de manière en soi connue d'un corps 1 tubulaire
disposé verticalement à l'intérieur de fouilles réalisées
dans le sol sur le trajet d'un réseau de distribution ou
d'évacuation de fluides.The buried inspection chamber, object of the invention, is
constituted in a known manner of a
Comme il a déjà été précisé ci-dessus, une telle chambre d'inspection remplit deux fonctions principales. Sa première fonction consiste à permettre la surveillance du réseau au moyen de matériels ou de personnes introduits à l'intérieur de la chambre en vue de la maintenance, de l'entretien et/ou de la rénovation du réseau. Une seconde fonction de cette chambre consiste à assurer la continuité hydraulique des effluents la traversant. Ces effluents peuvent être d'origines diverses : pluviale, urbaine, industrielle... Bien évidemment, d'autres fluides peuvent être amenés à traverser une telle chambre. Les réseaux intégrant de telles chambres d'inspection sont conçus pour devoir résister au moins dix ans. Ils nécessitent donc une inspection et un contrôle permanents.As already stated above, such a room inspection performs two main functions. Her first function is to allow monitoring of the network by means of materials or people introduced to the interior of the chamber for maintenance, network maintenance and / or renovation. A second function of this room is to provide continuity hydraulic flow through the effluents. These effluents can be of various origins: rain, urban, industrial ... Obviously, other fluids can be brought through such a room. Networks incorporating such inspection chambers are designed to have to resist at least ten years. They therefore require a permanent inspection and control.
Le corps 1 est enterré verticalement et fermé à sa partie
inférieure par un élément de fond profilé ou cunette 2.The
De manière en soi connue, ce corps 1 est généralement
constitué de plusieurs éléments. Dans l'exemple représenté
à la figure 1, ce corps 1 présente à sa partie supérieure
un orifice d'accès à travers lequel il est possible
d'inspecter ledit circuit. Cet orifice d'accès du corps est
délimité au moyen d'un élément de tête 6 ou réducteur
assemblé au reste du corps, généralement au moyen d'un
joint. Cet élément de tête 6 est équipé d'un couvercle 16
ou tampon de fermeture placé au ras du sol. Ce couvercle ou
tampon de fermeture est généralement en fonte.In a manner known per se, this
Pour augmenter la tenue dans le temps d'une telle chambre
d'inspection, il est nécessaire de réduire les charges
roulantes devant être supportées par la chambre
d'inspection. Pour ce faire, un coffrage annulaire perdu 7
est enfilé sur l'élément de tête 6 du corps 1 et supporte
l'élément de fermeture 16 de l'élément de tête 6. Ce
coffrage annulaire 7, dit répartiteur de charges, isole le
corps 1 des charges roulantes. Ce répartiteur de charges
joue donc le rôle de dalle flottante. Il est indispensable
qu'il soit désolidarisé de l'élément de tête 6 de la
chambre. Cet élément répartiteur de charges 7 reposera donc
sur un sol compacté. Ce coffrage annulaire 7 est donc,
après la mise en place du corps de chambre dans un site
préalablement déblayé, rempli d'un béton assurant la
rigidité de l'ensemble. To increase the durability of such a room
inspection, it is necessary to reduce the charges
rolling to be supported by the room
inspection. To do this, a lost
Comme il a d'ores et déjà été précisé ci-dessus, le corps 1
de la chambre est fermé à sa partie inférieure par un
élément de fond 2 profilé ou cunette. Corps 1 et élément de
fond 2 sont réalisés en matière synthétique pour les
raisons explicitées ci-dessus, à savoir légèreté et
insensibilité aux effluents agressifs en particulier le
H2S. L'élément de fond 2 est en particulier réalisé en
polyuréthanne. Cet élément de fond 2 est moulé par
injection basse pression dudit polyuréthanne.As has already been specified above, the
Du fait que l'élément de fond 2 est complètement
indépendant, au moment de sa fabrication, du corps de la
chambre, il est possible d'obtenir un élément de fond dont
la structure présente un gradient de densité croissant de
la partie centrale en direction des faces externes dudit
élément lui conférant ainsi une structure mécanique
équivalent à une poutre en H, dans laquelle chaque face de
l'élément de fond correspond à une branche du H. Pour ce
faire, l'injection de la matière polyuréthanne est réalisée
de telle sorte que cette matière sera beaucoup plus
compacte dans la partie externe de la pièce tandis qu'elle
le sera beaucoup moins dans la partie centrale de la pièce.
On obtient ainsi, par le biais de cette fabrication par
injection, une structure en H de ladite pièce 2 lui
conférant une bonne tenue mécanique supérieure à une
structure identique compacte, en particulier lorsque la
chambre d'inspection est soumise à l'action d'une nappe
phréatique.Because the
Le corps tubulaire 1 et l'élément de fond profilé ou
cunette 2 doivent être assemblés de manière telle qu'une
étanchéité et une tenue mécanique parfaites soient obtenues
au niveau de la liaison entre corps tubulaire 1 et élément
de fond profilé 2. Pour ce faire, le corps tubulaire 1 et
l'élément de fond 2 comportent respectivement l'un une
gorge périphérique interne 3, l'autre une gorge
périphérique externe 4, lesdites gorges 3,4 étant agencées
pour venir en regard lors de l'introduction de la cunette 2
dans le corps 1. Cette introduction de la cunette 2 dans le
corps 1 s'effectue généralement à force. En effet, de
préférence, la cunette 2 est dimensionnée de telle sorte
qu'elle s'adapte parfaitement dans le corps 1 de la chambre
d'inspection. Du fait de cette adaptation parfaite de la
cunette 2 dans le corps 1 de la chambre, on résout
également le problème de l'ovalisation initiale des corps
de chambre.The
La gorge périphérique interne 3 du corps 1 ménagée sur la
face interne dudit corps comprend au moins un orifice 14
communiquant avec l'extérieur du corps tubulaire 1 pour
permettre l'injection d'une matière de remplissage 5 dans
les gorges 3 et 4. Cette matière 5 assure à la fois
l'étanchéité et la tenue mécanique de la liaison comme cela
a été précisé ci-dessus. Cette matière 5 est généralement
du polyuréthanne. En fonction des caractéristiques de la
matière de remplissage, il est parfois nécessaire de
disposer de deux orifices 14 et 15 communiquant avec
l'extérieur du corps 1. Dans ce cas, l'un des orifices 14
sert à l'injection de cette matière, l'autre orifice 15 au
dégazage des espaces devant être comblés au cours de
l'injection de la matière 5. De même, au cours de
l'injection de la matière de remplissage, il peut être
nécessaire d'utiliser un gabarit logé à l'intérieur de la
chambre en appui sur l'élément de fond 2. Ce gabarit permet
de limiter le fluage de la matière de remplissage 5, ce
fluage étant représenté à la figure 2.The internal
La gorge externe 4 de réception du matériau de remplissage
5 de la cunette 2 est ménagée dans l'épaisseur d'une embase
de la cunette à la périphérie de cette dernière. Cette
embase de la cunette est en outre munie, sur l'une de ses
faces, d'une denture 10 périphérique se présentant sous la
forme d'une couronne annulaire crénelée. Cette couronne est
destinée à venir s'appliquer plus ou moins étroitement
contre les parois internes du corps 1 de la chambre
d'inspection une fois l'élément de fond 2 positionné Ã
l'intérieur du corps 1.The
Chaque créneau 11 de cette couronne est agencé pour venir
en regard d'un orifice 9 susceptible d'être ménagé dans la
paroi du corps de chambre en vue du raccordement d'une
conduite 8 d'entrée ou de sortie de fluide à ladite
chambre.Each
En effet, le corps 1 se présente à l'origine sous forme
d'un simple tube comportant une gorge périphérique 3
ménagée sur sa paroi intérieure. Ce corps tubulaire
comporte sur sa paroi externe des marquages de repérage des
orifices 9 Ã percer pour le raccordement de conduites 8 sur
ledit corps. Ainsi, c'est l'utilisateur qui décide sur site
du nombre d'orifices 9 Ã pratiquer dans ledit corps en
fonction des raccordements à effectuer. Il en résulte une
grande polyvalence de la chambre d'inspection apte Ã
s'adapter à de multiples configurations de réseaux. Dans un
autre mode de réalisation, représenté à la figure 1, le
corps tubulaire comporte déjà un perçage réalisé en usine
pour le raccordement d'une conduite 8 de sortie de fluide,
les autres orifices étant réalisés sur site. Dans ce cas,
le perçage est fermé au moyen d'un bouchon monté amovible
sur ledit corps 1.Indeed, the
De la même manière, l'utilisation d'un corps se présentant
sous forme d'un simple tube permet une adaptation aisée et
rapide de la longueur du tube à la hauteur du site Ã
équiper. En effet, ces tubes sont des tubes de hauteurs
standards redécoupés sur site ou en usine à la hauteur
nécessaire pour l'équipement du site. C'est pour cette
raison que, dans la plupart des cas, seul un élément de
tête 6 sera nécessaire pour compléter le corps du tube. Une
telle utilisation d'un corps réalisé à base d'un simple
tube permet en outre de réduire considérablement le nombre
de pièces à stocker. In the same way, the use of a body presenting itself
in the form of a simple tube allows easy adaptation and
from the length of the tube to the height of the site to
equip. Indeed, these tubes are tubes of heights
standards redesigned on site or in the factory up to par
necessary for site equipment. It is for this
reason that in most cases only one element of
Une fois le ou les orifices 9 ménagé(s) dans la paroi du
corps, l'utilisateur peut introduire à travers chaque
orifice une conduite 8 qui est généralement une conduite
d'entrée de fluide lorsque le mode de réalisation du corps
1 est du type décrit ci-dessus.Once the opening (s) 9 (s) are made in the wall of the
body the user can introduce through each
orifice a
Comme chaque créneau 11 de la cunette 2 présente sur son
pourtour un épaulement 13 formant butée lors de
l'introduction axiale d'une conduite 8 d'entrée ou de
sortie de fluide à travers un orifice 9 ménagé en
correspondance du créneau 11 dans la paroi du corps 1 de
chambre, l'utilisateur est assuré sans effort du
positionnement correct de la conduite 8 à l'intérieur de
ladite chambre.As each
Comme le montre la figure 3, l'élément 2 profilé comporte
au moins un créneau 11 correspondant à une entrée de fluide
et au moins un créneau 11A correspondant à une sortie de
fluide de ladite chambre, chaque créneau 11 d'entrée de
fluide étant relié à au moins un créneau de sortie de
fluide 11A par un profil hydraulique 12 ménagé à la surface
de l'embase de la cunette ce profil assurant un écoulement
directionnel du fluide à l'intérieur de la cunette. Ainsi,
dans l'exemple représenté à la figure 3, l'élément de fond
profilé 2 comporte au plus cinq entrées de fluide et une
sortie de fluide commune, chaque profil hydraulique 12
étant dirigé d'une entrée de fluide en direction de la
sortie commune. Par profil hydraulique, on entend une forme
incurvée, similaire à un profil de gouttière, ménagée à la
surface de l'embase de l'élément de fond profilé 2, cette
forme étant profilée pour assurer un écoulement
directionnel du flux de fluide entrant dans ladite chambre.As shown in Figure 3, the profiled
Grâce à une telle forme de réalisation de la cunette, il est possible de réduire le stock de cunettes à une seule pièce standard. Cette pièce pouvant s'adapter à tout type de raccordement indépendamment du nombre de conduites à raccorder, ce nombre étant au plus égal à six dans l'exemple représenté.Thanks to such an embodiment of the cunette, it it is possible to reduce the stock of gears to one standard part. This piece can adapt to any type regardless of the number of lines to connect, this number being at most equal to six in the example shown.
